Ph.D in Physics @ IITM

            My graduate work at IITM involved the study of the interaction of the Rubidium (Rb) atoms with a coherent Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) optical field with spatially varying phase factor and mode amplitude. Detailed computational and experimental studies have been carried out to understand the effect of the LG field on Zeeman coherence induced phenomena like electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) and nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) and Hanle effect.

            I also had the opportunity to work at premier institutes like IISc (Indian institute of science, Bangalore, India) and RRI (Raman Research institute, Bangalore, India) where I was involved in the construction of an A-B differential amplifier circuit and extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) to perform the above mentioned experimental studies.

Post Doctoral Research Associate @ UW

In my post-doctoral research work at UW, I had the opportunity to work on two different fields:

  1. The precise measurement of the magnetic dipole transition moment, M1, associated with the 6S1/2 to 5D3/2 transition in Ba138 ion as this turns out to be the leading systematic error in parity nonconservation (PNC) measurement. Apart from this, I also tried to study effect of the stress induced birefringence across the viewports on the 2051 nm beam polarization as precise control of the beam polarization is a general concern in trapped ion PNC measurement.
  2. Yb atom spectroscopy: Construction of a single dual axis Yb vapor cell that can be used to simultaneously address the two laser cooling transitions in Yb atoms at wavelengths 399 nm and 556 nm respectively, thus finding applications in laser cooling experiments.

Apart from research, I have also worked as an instructor for a summer quarter at University of Washington and managed class-sizes of about 100 students.
